REAL CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
“I had a MAGNIFICENT experience. I’m in Melbourne on holiday from Alaska, and after literally traveling the globe to find the perfect unique dress, I found it at Sposa! My dress is now ordered with small alterations, made possible only by Marianna’s brilliance, to bring all my visualizations to life. I wanted a unique dress I couldn’t even put into words, and I’m blown away with all the work Marianna has done to give me my perfect dress. My dreams have come true thanks to her. Thank you a million times over!” – Amanda Boger
“I had the most incredible experience at The Sposa Group. The experience was so much more than I could ever expect, and compared to other bridal stores, it was absolutely incredible. Marianna was amazing! She made me feel so comfortable and confident and made it clear that nothing I wanted was to much to ask or do. As a plus size girl this made me feel so confident knowing that anything could be altered and a dress would be made for me and I didn’t have to just fit into a dress and make it work.
There was no pressure on me to find a dress, Marianne just wanted me to find something I loved which I absolutely did! I couldn’t recommend Sposa enough!” – Maddison Lynch

REAL CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
“Thank you Georgina for such a wonderful, joyful & insightful shopping experience. Alex is absolutely over the moon & we are so grateful that you were recommended to us! What an exceptional job you have done. Thank you thank you, thank you ☺️ The dress is beautiful 🤩 I must say, we have had a less than stellar experience at another Bridal shop & Alex’s needs were very specific & challenging, but you accepted the assignment with zeal.
For any other disabled brides-to-be, Georgina is your wedding dress genie! Amazing customer service, genuinely interested in finding that perfect dress & fabulous laughs! So very appreciated.” – Andrea & Alex
“I had a great experience at Leah S Designs!
I needed a dress off the rack, no time to lose! The styles I originally liked didn’t suit me at all and I was feeling super nervous.
Jenny was so patient, kind, and caring! She got creative, matched me with flattering styles, settled my nerves and made the whole process smooth and relaxing. I tried on 5 dresses, I thought an hour would be a tight squeeze but it was plenty of time to get a look at each dress. I went away to think, was able to come back in a few hours later (no charge) to retry my shortlist dresses and make a final decision. We found THE dress all in one day!
The store is clean, bright, beautiful, and comfortable. We attended on a very busy day and were met with smiling faces and positivity, everyone was welcoming and respectful. I am so glad I came here and found my perfect dress!” – Rose Mathews
